Clean air is a human right.

In 2018 London breached it’s annual pollution limit in the first month and is the greatest health problem facing cities. Until systematic changes have been made by government how can we make radical change?

This April we are running a 2 day hack to tackle air pollution using our community of designers, makers and technologists.

Join us for the opening activation session where we will be learning insights from the latest research on the global perceptions on climate change, interrogating the brief, defining specific problem areas and beginning the ideation process.

Speakers:
